New Resume The New Resume page presents you with a series of questions designed to gather your work experience and educational training information which is used as matching criteria to match you to jobs posted in IllinoisJobLink.com and other job boards if you wish, while at the same time, it builds a resume for you in case you do not have one to attach. o Resume Title: Type in the letters ASSA first so that matching employers can easily identify you as being an ASSA Member who will most likely be on hand at the annual meeting for interviews and for matching purposes, followed by a general occupational field that supports the specific overall area you are looking for and preferably have experience in. (Here is where you could choose from among the JEL general topics for economics and finance from A through R on page 11, especially if you are going into the academic field. For example: ASSA Mathematical and Quantitative Methods. Otherwise you can enter something like ASSA Research, ASSA Education or ASSA Consultant). o Job Title: Your job title may have carried over from the previous exercise. If not, enter the same job title you decided on during the review. o Relevant Work Experience: Enter years and months, or if entry level, enter zeroes for years and months. o Education level: Enter the highest level of education you have achieved or are about to achieve. If you are a PhD/ABD, enter PhD. o Are you willing to move to another location for work?: YES. This is very important if you wish to match to job openings in a global market. Remember, you can always say you are not interested in the matches you get. But first you have to get the matches. o In what area would you like to find employment?: Also very important: Enter for matching purposes no matter where you wish to work. ASSA employers will be using this ZIP code as well when selecting their job location, no matter where the job will really be. The ASSA Employer Guide asked them to list their actual job location(s) in their job descriptions so you will know where the job location is. This was the best method we could find to make sure no matching opportunities were missed by recruiters or candidates. o What is the maximum distance (in miles) you are willing to commute to work one-way?: Enter 255 which is the maximum distance you can enter. o Are you willing to travel as a requirement of the job?: Enter Yes so you don t miss any employer matches. o What is the salary type for your desired salary?: Select Annual o Enter your minimum desired salary: select $ or better. The higher you go, the fewer matches you will get. o Are you seeking full-time or part-time work?: Full Time 6

7 o What is your preferred shift?: No Preference (to be safe). o Are you willing to accept temporary work?: Yes o Do you have a valid driver s license?: Yes or no. o Do you want job matches for this resume ed to you? Yes. o Select resume file to upload: If you have a resume in a Microsoft Word format ONLY, attach it now by clicking on the Browse button. Otherwise you will have to build a resume from your non-ms Word resume following a number of steps in the system by clicking on the Create Resume link below. o After attaching your resume, click on the Cancel button and wait for the system to load it. You should get a message stating, Resume was successfully updated. You should see your attached copy below Resume Preview. You can look it over and if you see any mistakes, you will have to make the corrections in Microsoft Word and go through the attachment process again using the Browse button again. You are now ready to conduct a Job Search (go to the Job Search section below). o If you are creating your resume, the Create Resume link should have taken you to a page that begins with, Resume has been successfully started. Follow the instructions under Select Occupation Work Wanted. o You will be prompted to provide the information from the following categories: an Objective Statement, Work Experience, Talents, Tools & Technologies, Work Activities, and Educational Experience. o You should see your attached copy below Resume Preview.

Then skip down to Save this search. Save this search: If you plan on conducting more than one search, you may want to give each search a title; especially if you are entering more than one resume to the system. If so, select the yes radio button. 7

8 o Search name: If you selected the yes radio button, you can name your search, preferably with something descriptive that will differentiate it from the other search names you may be using for this resume and any other resumes you decide to enter. Otherwise skip this question. o Click on Search button at the bottom of the page Your IllinoisJobLink.com Matching Employers: At the top of the page, the message should read: IllinoisJobLink.com found jobs matching your search criteria o The list of matching jobs is already defaulted chronologically with the most recently posted jobs listed from top to bottom. But you have the option to alter your list of matching orders by clicking on the Relevance or Date options at the top. Relevance will put the jobs that match your resume or profile criteria best at the top. Date will give you the latest matches both now and for future searches chronologically at the top. So you may wish to conduct your 1 st search by Relevance, and all subsequent searches by Date so you aren t looking at the same matches all over again. o Click on the blue Job Title for each job match, one at a time. o Each job provides the job title, description, duties, skill requirements and functions as well as other Job information, contact information and other details. It tells what job board it originated from other than IllinoisJobLink.com, if you selected the option to access other job boards.

Click on the Illinois JobLink Resume To Employer button or just click on the Employers address and compose your own . (But more employers these days will send you to their Web site to fill out their job application.) o If the IJL Resume... button worked, select one of your ASSA Resumes (if you have more than one), edit the drafted for you, saying you would appreciate an interview opportunity at their convenience while in San Francisco. o Check spelling and Send . If the employer prefers using their Web site to apply rather than , you are pretty much obligated to comply with their request. o Add to your Saved Job List in case you wish to review again at a later date. o Click on Back to results at the bottom of the page and continue to work your way through your match list. You will continue to match to new employers as they will be added to the list as new employers post their job orders.
